La Luna Candles


300g – $29.99


La Luna Candles are 100% soy wax presented in painted concrete containers. These candles have lead-free wicks and a natural wooden lid. They are available in a variety of destination-scented candles that allow you to be “taken away” right there in your living room. When the candle has finished burning, the container can be reused as a plant pot! Now that’s sustainability!

Bee Glow Candles


3’’ x 5’’ Pillar – $24.39


Check out our non-toxic candle selection featuring several beeswax selections. Did you know that beeswax is the only substance known to humankind that emits a negative ion when burned? 


Negative ions circulate the room neutralizing the positive static charges that keep contaminants airborne. When this charge is neutralized, the impurities such as dust, odours, mould, pollen, viruses and other toxins fall to the floor. 


The convection current created, via combustion, means that as the candle burns, it draws contaminants to the flame where they fall into the molten wax surrounding the wick. This process causes the wax to darken.


Beeswax also produces a multi-level vibration that calms the inner senses. This vibration can be seen in the golden halo surrounding the flame. And last but not least, beeswax sweetens the room with the pure scent of honey.

Natural Factors


Total Body Collagen

500ml – $49.99


Total Body Collagen isn’t just great for hair, skin and nails – it’s a building block for muscle and joint recovery!


We love Total Body Collagen’s well-absorbed powder containing not just collagen but also biotin, amino acids, vitamin c, glucosamine and hyaluronic acid. Hydrolyzed collagen promotes collagen synthesis and has been shown to help reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.


Collagen and hyaluronic acid work together to provide structure, strength and resilience in the body’s tissues and are vital for maintaining hydration in the joints. This formula also supports muscle growth and recovery, helping physically active people to build lean muscle mass.

Nature’s Way


Chlorofresh

474ml – $22.99


Chlorophyll was all the trend this summer, but we’ve known about the benefits of this green liquid for many years. Chlorofresh is a liquid chlorophyllin complex extracted from premium botanicals. Chlorophyll, as you may know, is the pigment that gives plants and algae their green colour. The chlorophyllin used in Nature’s Way Chlorofresh is derived from white mulberry leaves and may be helpful with improving skin, anti-ageing and body odours.

While supplies last.

Our New Essential Oils Are HERE!
By Jonathan Tessier 18 Apr, 2024
We've all been there. You set a goal for yourself to work out more but you can't seem to get into the routine. The workouts might be too hard or you might not have the energy for it. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that at least 1 in 4 adults do not get enough physical activity. If you're inactive, you carry a 20% to 30% greater risk of premature death compared to more active lifestyles. If you have trouble finding the time or energy to work out, VILPA may be a solution for you.
